First Kiss
You scan the room
eyes meet
smiles are spawned
Blushes shared
sideways glances
embarrassment cascades
The dance has begun
awkward moments multiply
rituals are invoked
Stares become contests
flames of desire kindled
yearning turns to wanting
Time stokes the embers
into uncontrolled heat
that cannot be squelched
Days become longer
nights intolerable
until
That moment
where lips meet
and lust is born
